Vacation Day #2: Old Friends in NH and ME

Day #2 of our vacation started in New Hampshire and ended in Maine. We met Suzanne and her son Zander (Alexander) for breakfast. He's only 21 months, although he looks older. He never, ever stopped smiling. That's one happy boy. We took this photo ourselves on a timer, set up on a table in Panera Bread, Manchester, NH. Afterward, Suzanne and Zander followed us to the Airport Diner and met Jim and Ed for the first time since she moved there (her husband Kevin was at an appt., so we all missed him).

After a 2 hour drive from Manchester, NH to Portland, Maine, we met up with our friends Jeff and Gary who flew into Portland, Maine. We got to have dinner with them and Jeff's Mom and Dad, too. It was fun, and great to see them. Mom F. always finds the funniest laugh out loud jokes and emails them to us all the time. She also makes great wash cloths for the kitchen, and surprised us with them.
"SCRAWNY ASS SHORTS"- That's what Mom F. says fits my behind, and I finally found some at Cabella's outdoor store. "Walking trail shorts" are actually SHORT and not the stupid half pants! I was so excited I bought two pair!

GAZEBO INN BED AND BREAKFAST, Ogunquit, Maine - This is the place we stayed. There are 14 rooms, and they're all absolutely gorgeous. Beautifully decorated: paint, large stone tile showers, elaborate bedspreads, flat screen tvs in the rooms, a huge DVD library, 24 hour kitchen, 2 jacuzzis, treadmills, pool, massage, 3 lounge areas, computer hookups, and awesome breakfasts!

The first evening we got to Ogunquit (after dinner with Jeff's parents) we walked around quickly before the shops closed. Here are Rob and Tom being goofy taking a self-photo.
